Nono, he was greasing the palms of all the money lenders in the temple. Another example of big business meddling in politics/religion. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

I'd like to argue, but i'm too middle ground on most issues (except for the jam/jelly debate). How some other debates: 1. Clean elections/money in politics 2. Environmental standards vs Industry 3. Healthcare: gov't vs private 4.Gov't: two party system vs. parliamentary democracy 5. Education overhaul 6. Trendspotting: breaking large countries into smaller ones: happier populace? 7. marshmellow fluff vs nutella -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

quote:The bells don't bring easter eggs. There's some sort of Church tradition that says that all the bells 'fly to Rome' at Easter, meaning they are silent (i don't know for how long...probably three days until Jesus got out of his tomb again). See if you hear any bells ringing today. (I think they do still ring them for weddings and funerals). -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

That's exactly what i meant with the Cambodian rice farmer. Philosophy is a privilege of the idle. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

A goal and a meaning are two very different things. Self-preservation and reproduction might the biological meanings of life, but that's not what your brain is telling you on a conscious level. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

The search for meaning is a luxury of the upper classes. I doubt a typical Cambodian rice farmer worries much why he's here. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

The meaning of life is shopping. Welcome to Capitalism. The real question is "What is the meaning of intelligence?" Life is easy, but why can we wonder about it? -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Just out of curiosity, where did you garner that fact from? Hopefully not experience. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

Nononono. Celibacy in monks started with the rule of St. Benedict, early 800s, beginning of the middle ages. The council of Elvira (1260) imposed it on all clergy. But whatever. -------------------- ... Posts: 647 | Registered: Wednesday, February 19 2003 08:00 |

A human/nephil hybrid might be in bad taste, but it certainly seems a valid topic. Seems like sex is THE driving force in most interpersonal relationships. I understand the desire to keep the Exile/Avernum worlds PG and PC, but surely this shouldn't cause much of a row. -------------------- ...

Alorael, your mission is clear. Forget about that sniping business, you need to found a benevolent society for the advancement of the Nephilim. You could engage prominent members of Avernite society to host tea parties at their manses, you could invite missionaries and other explorers that have lived among the Nephilim to hold talks and give presentations on the state of Nephil affairs, you could hold fundraisers by auctioning off wealthy patrons' gewgaws, etc. I think someone should take up this cause. -------------------- ...

Stupidberries. Heh. Sounds like a new breakfast cereal. I've only played A3, so I really don't have a leg to stand on, but to me the nephilim seemed kinda neolithic. They're cat-like, cats are loners, prefer to roam rather than stay put; so by extension their civilization is propably not as developed as the humans' or sliths. Plus, they didn't really evince any skills in weaponmaking, and, by extension, metalcraft (Althought there was a nephil weaponsmith in there somewhere...). The sliths had their slith spears, and the Radiant Slith Spear was one of the most powerful weapons in A3, so they must have some more advanced technical skills as the nephils. Also, I'm wondering if there will ever be any half-nephils. Sliths are reptilian, so there won't be any cross-breeding there, but surely a half-cat/half-human would be possible, both being mammals and all.
